of Mr.. Blaine TO obtain admittance 10 the

clusion Of Mr.. Blaine from the Council
| Chamber. had arranged with Mr. Blaine
to accompany him. On the way Miss Blaine
met with an accident which caused an injury
to her ankle. She was compelled to return
and her father accompanied her back to her
hotel Mr.. Blaine was thus retarded. In
stead of Mr.. Blaine having any cause to
complain Of inattentionon the part Of the
officials Of Edinburgh the Interest
and the public have manifested in
his movsments. and the universal desire to
| see and hear him have much surprised him,
accustomed as he is to all this wherever he
| goes In, his own land. He had not expected
such reception as SIS everywhere accorded
him In Great Britain, and nowhere have at
tentions paid him been more marked and
gratifying than in Edinburgh.
LONDON, July 1.-THE result of the cleo
ti0n in Coventry on Saturday to fill the va
cancy caused by the elevation of Henry Will
liam Eaton, Conservative, to the peerage,
shows Liberal gain. Mr.. Ballantine, the
Gladstonian candidate, receiving 1929 votes
against 1918 for Col. Eaton, the Conservative
candidate, whereas at the previous election
Henry William Eaton was returned by ma
| jOrity Of 405 over Mr.. Balantine.
The Standard says the loss of the Coven-
try election should teach the Unionsts that
the battle is not yet over and that incessant
exertions are still necessary TO secure the p0.
sition they have won. I'VE shall be sur
prised, however" continues the Standard
IF MIR. Gladstone's speech ON Saturday to
his American admirers does not revive the
anti home rule feeling in all its original in
tensity. No language Of ours can add a
darker shade to his expressions Of sympathy
with the intrigues of American Fenians who
are subsidizing treason In the heart OF the
British Empire"
The Times says the result Of elevating Mr..
Henry William Eaton to the peerage Is the
loss Of Coventry to the government. Mr..
Eat0n's elevation was an explicable and
gratuitous blunder. The warning must not
be neglected.
